Fifth Circuit Endorses Broad Detention for Immigration Applicants
A divided Fifth Circuit upheld the Trump administration's plan to detain all applicants for admission in deportation proceedings without bond, reversing numerous federal rulings to the contrary; the majority reasoned that the statute treats ongoing applicants for admission as subject to detention, while a dissent criticized the interpretation as文本 and noted broad disagreement among courts. The decision follows a 2025 ICE memo and amplifies the ongoing legal fight over mandatory detention in immigration proceedings.
